An ambitious project to create an accurate computer model of the brain has reached an impressive milestone. Scientists in Switzerland working with IBM researchers have shown that their [computer simulation of the neocortical column](http://www.technologyreview.com/Biotech/19767/?nlid=692&ref=protein.xyz), arguably the most complex part of a mammal’s brain, appears to behave like its biological counterpart. By demonstrating that their simulation is realistic, the researchers say, these results suggest that an entire mammal brain could be completely modeled within three years, and a human brain within the next decade.

They haven’t specified the human that they are going to model it on yet. Any volunteers?
